Thanks a lot for the hint.
I don't understand the equations but at least I found transicc to calculate color conversions.
What precision is useful in the wild?
I now use three digits after the decimal point, eg.:
\definecolor [hs-logoblau] [c=0.976, m=0.665, y=0.028, k=0.116]
It's safe to specify a color as 8bit per channel rgb, or in percent. i.e. see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors:_A%E2%80%93F (more on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_colors )
16bit per channel rgb are also possible, but old RIP can have problems (for example https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/#/pick?pantoneBook=pantoneSolidCoatedV3... shows rgb 8bit per channel and CMYK 0 to 100) Btw: be careful of the checker shadow illusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion colors not always look as they are expressed in numeric form. -- luigi
